If I am not misunderstanding you, yes dmix allows for anything to be
sent through the spdif connection. Myth TV uses mplayer/xine to play
DVD's depending how you set it up. I am using xine for mine as I like
having the menus. It plays both DTS/DD and works well. Occasionly I run
into a DVD where it switches from stereo to DTS/DD and it causes Xine to
say the Audio Card is in use, so I am not sure if you can be playing an
MP3 or something at the same time as running a AC3 soundtrack from a
movie, I can try that this weekend. It surely can play multiple
MP3s/MythTV recording at the same time over SPDIF though.
